Probably not a fear - just a general feeling that archaeology will continue to bumble along in its slightly potty way, with standards inching up gradually.
I tend not to fear - i prefer to try and think positively. Hopes for the future?
A triumvirate of:
- It'll be interesting to see if a hung parliament passes more "less controversial" legislation and we see the Heritage Bill pass. Would definately like to see more power for and regulation of county archaeologists as a result, (I need to find a copy of the proposed bill) as I think that's the best way to ensure standards are complied with
- The introduction of a good quality archaeological union across the UK to gradually push up pay and conditions
- The IFA carries on but focuses more on the RAO scheme and setting guidelines
